Rozhkova Cakes: Art in Every Dessert

Task

Rozhkova Cakes is more than an online store; it’s a digital exhibition of culinary art. We needed to craft an aesthetically stunning, high-performance platform for bespoke cakes. A critical requirement was an intuitive, custom-built Admin Dashboard—free from traditional CMS bloat. The client needed to moderate reviews, edit site content, and upload new products with "on-the-fly" automatic image compression to preserve blazing-fast SEO and Lighthouse 100/100 performance regardless of the original image file size.

Solution

The platform core is powered by Astro 5, leveraging Server-Side Generation (SSG/ISG) for instantaneous catalog rendering. To drive the custom Admin Panel efficiently without unnecessary overhead, we implemented SQLite—a lightweight yet powerful file-based persistence strategy perfect for moderate-scale e-commerce. Furthermore, we bypassed legacy email notifications in favor of deep Telegram Integration via custom bots and topics, allowing staff to manage and track orders in real time. We also built an internal image pipeline that automatically crushes uploaded photos into optimized WebP formats before saving them to the catalog.

Key Features

• Astro SSG Engine: Immediate execution of highly-graphic catalog structures with zero rendering penalty.
• Custom Admin Panel: Content, review, and product management with built-in automatic image optimization routines.
• Telegram Management: Native order routing and tracking executed seamlessly within staff chat instances.
• SQLite Persistence: Lightning-fast and highly reliable file-based database architecture.

Technologies

Architecture and Deployment

Containerized using Docker and executed under the zero-overhead Bun runtime, the solution ensures 100% uptime stability, isolated API environments for the dashboard, and a frictionless path for future scaling operations.
